How many shiny Pokémon do you have?

I've maybe got like 2/3 of a box? I go through periods of shiny hunting and stuff so don't have too many shiny Pokemon but always try and get my favourites when I do. I think XY was when I was into shinies the most, racked up a lot of hours grinding for a Zorua, Helioptile etc and I've got a few off people here on PC :)
 
Excluding clones, defaults, and those I got via trade/event, I'm counting 167.

Full-odds: 60 (3 via soft-resetting)
Shiny Charm-only: 4
Masuda method: 30
Poké Radar: 23
Friend Safari: 12
Chain-fishing: 6
DexNav: 6
Horde: 20

I've got 6 more in Sword that I'm thinking are full-odds, but I'm still not 100% certain how rates work in SWSH.

EDIT: Found another in Sword and VC Gold.

I have a good few boxes in home not through catching tho, got lucky brought a second hand version of Platinum and the previous owner must of been a shiny hunter because there was boxes full of them
 
I only shiny hunt in xy and oras. I use all methods without shiny charm excluding poke radar. I'm mainly going for gens 1-3 living dex, for gen 1 I'm missing 20 excluding Mew. Almost all thats left are masuda method hunts, but need 2 more fossil resets, 1of each fossil as well as some random encounters like Nidorina and some 5% hordes like Exeggcute and Scyther.

Overall I have 410 unique shinies living dex style.
 
i have several boxes of shinies in swsh as we speak, although those are only shinies that i care about having. i'm pretty satisfied with that amount and i'm by no means a shiny dex hunter so i'll probably leave it at that. xD;
 
gen 5 and 6 have my most concentrated numbers aha. i did rng abuse in gen 5 and still have plenty of fruits of that labor there. i did a lot of shiny hunting and collecting in gen 6 too and had about four boxes full...i still have them on x. i haven't touched that game in years and transferring pokemon out of their native generation has always made me rather uneasy so they'll probably stay there. i should pop in the cart and see what i have.

as for other generations uhhh. not really much? i think i have a shiny umbreon in moon. none for gen 8. i found a shiny drowzee in silver once...i have a few that i got in gen 4 (crobat, jumpluff, arbok, probably others) and i have a mightyena and spinda in emerald.
 
yo a few days after posting this i found a shiny tauros in heartgold dreams do come true
 
I have 4 shinies not counting guaranteed ones like Gyarados. There's Farfetch'd in Platinum, Victreebell and Dodrio in Let's Go Eevee, and Smoochum in Crystal. Only Farfetch'd was a full-odds shiny I randomly ran into. Victreebell and Dodrio were from catch combos but I wasn't looking for shinies, just catching a bunch of Pokémon. Smoochum was from the Odd Egg and hunted.
 
i have to come back to this thread bc i have had rly good shiny luck the past few months lmfao. i found a shiny tauros in heartgold while grinding outside the safari zone. found a shiny swinub in icefall cave in firered, which is what i played right after HG. tonight, i hatched a shiny eiscue in sword right after tweeting abt shiny hunting...then i did a dynamax adventure and got a shiny exploud lmfao. i almost didn't take it bc it's hardly different from the normal one but hey. so yeah that's how things are goin. also not a shiny but i got pokerus in ruby lmfao. crazy man
